This is a sure indicator of how much the world is anticipating a new leader in the U.S.: From Berlin to London to Jakarta, the destinies of Democratic and Republican contenders in Iowa or New Hampshire, or Nevada or South Carolina, have become news in a way that most political commentators cannot recall. It is […]
Final vote was 273-156. The sick Republicans were cheering when the override failed. Glad to see they find illness and death involving children as something to cheer for. 44 Republicans voted with Democrats and two Democrats crossed over. The most upsetting part of this is it shows that the “House of Representatives” doesn’t represent the […]
And they don’t care. That is obvious considering they won’t attend debates held by black or Hispanic moderators. Cornell West (who I am a big fan of) has this to say about the current GOP dilemma: The GOP debate in Baltimore at Morgan State University, led and moderated by Tavis Smiley, and currently being snubbed […]

How can we trust his judgment?” “Ohioans and Americans should be outraged that they put their […]
So I decided to take a stroll on over to RedState.org and read what the radical-right is saying in the wake of the Domenche scandal. As usual, they are their typical apologetic selves. This of course is no shock from a group of people who blindly support the worst President in American History. True these […]
President Bush is afraid. He is afraid of a grieving mother. Cindy Sheehan has been parked outside the entrance to his Crawford Ranch since Saturday and refuses to leave until he is willing to talk to her. Cindy wants to know why her son died. He was killed in April 2004 while fighting in Iraq. […]
